AI insight
AI-generatedGeopolitical uncertainty over U.S.-Iran peace deal and Strait of Hormuz closure directly push oil prices higher (Brent +2%). Higher oil input costs squeeze refining margins and raise gasoline prices, feeding into U.S. inflation. The channel is supply_shortage (Strait of Hormuz) and regulatory (sanctions/cease-fire uncertainty). Impact is global but most acute for oil importers and refiners dependent on Gulf crude.
